Something tells me thats as tainted as the election was

Nah. why? You think Gallup positively rigged Bush' approval rating in September of 2001 and is doing what, negatively rigging it now?

A few days after 9/11 even my dad approved of Bush and hell, he considers himself to be a little to the left of Mao Tse-tung.

When your average the high and low.

1: JFK
2: Eisenhower
3: G.W. Bush

I took a shit yesterday that would have achieved that same approval rating as president in September - October of 2001. :2 cents:

Of course it is... 9/11 drove his number way up.. it had nothing to do with him, it had to do with revenge..

Patriotism gets used and abused.

Not surprising. After 911 everyone lost their minds and blindly supported and followed an idiot.

That was my take on it as well.

JFK appears to have the best numbers overall.

A monthly average would be the most accurate though.

It's not exactly trivia if you give us the answers in the initial post.

I wish he could run for a third term.

Yep. Same here. After 9/11 that dipshit even got my support until Iraq was started. :Oh crap
